Deprecated ARIA roles unexpected suggestion

[scottaohara]

Product

axe-core

Description

the Deprecated ARIA roles documentation states:

Ensure all values assigned to role="" correspond to WAI-ARIA roles that are not deprecated, or abstract.

followed by

directory: Consider using section, list, or tree instead.

But section is an abstract role. Was this a typo and meant to be "section element", or is this just a mistake?

Thanks for the issue. I'm unsure but either way we'll get it update. Thanks for letting us know.

I would like to fix this issue - however, for some reason I'm unable to locate the file having directory: Consider using section, list, or tree instead., in the repository.

I tried searching for Consider using, but for some reason, it doesn't lead to any results:
https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Adequelabs%2Faxe-core%20%22Consider%20using%22&type=code

Can you please guide / point to the right file ?
This is my first time contributing, so it could be I'm missing something - thanks a lot, in advance for the guidance.

@namansancheti Thanks for being willing to take this on. Any issues with the doc tag will be fixes that need to happen in Deque University and the rule help pages for axe-core. They aren't controlled by this repo so unfortunately you won't be able to help us fix it.

If you're looking for good tickets for first time contributors, I recommend the Good First Issue label. Any of those we've identified as being good candidates for first time contributors.

Ah! okay - can you please point to the repository for Deque University ?
I tried looking up using https://github.com/orgs/dequelabs/repositories?type=all&q=university, but only came across https://github.com/dequelabs/Deque-University-for-Android, w/ the iOS one being archived.

Thank you - I took a look at the two open issues here, and it seems #3177 was already addressed and is just pending closure ?
Will take a look into #1237 and update.

Unfortunately Deque University code is private so it's on us to get this fixed.

#3177 was partially fixed, but we didn't put out a fix for handling only allowing aria-hidden on the elements.

Got it.
